Serverless computing is a cloud computing model that allows developers to build and run applications without managing the underlying infrastructure.
Key Points about Serverless Computing in the Context of AWS Lambda:
1. Abstraction of Servers: Developers do not have to provision, manage, or maintain servers. They simply deploy their code, and the cloud provider takes care of the rest.
2. Event-Driven Execution: AWS Lambda functions are triggered by events (e.g., HTTP requests, file uploads), allowing code to run automatically in response to specific actions.
3. Automatic Scaling: AWS Lambda automatically scales the number of function instances based on demand, handling multiple requests simultaneously without any manual intervention.
